It’s 12:49 A.M here in India and I have finally finished whitewashing both sides of a horrible wooden partition, had my share of rum for the day and am sitting here writing decor journals..God, I must be pathetic. And of course, to add I am smelling of emulsion and turpentine. Even my expensive Arabia perfume…
Happy Republic Day fellas, my countrymen. A teeny member of this crazy republic is saying hello to you with a DIY nautical tray- come have a cuppa coffee and some fresh bread.
That’s right! We have a DIY barnwood table in the house and it is doing quite well in this coastal decor. Man! How I always wanted a barnwood table- you know the pub-y look done chic, a movie and a beer glass on top, just to get them feels. Finally, its here! A day in…
Hello and welcome beach decor lovers…We have a DIY tree branch candle holder today in trumatter land and I think you’ll quite love how a couple of pins/needles and a coat of white can magically change a dried tree branch into a beach chic candle holder! Interested? Hop along!
Well hello there! How have you been holding in your neck of woods? The temp is down, reds and whites have started to show and its feeling a loooot like Christmas in here! Back from delhi and a huge wedding, I am now in a recovery mode with some hot chocolate and London Pride {yeah, it…
good morning and welcome to trumatterland, care for a cup of tea? Yes, we’ll sit in here, in this newly done up tiny apartment balcony, and gossip and discuss literature- maybe- and our French Lavender dreams? Share a few recipes for Christmas and talk about the hammock? I know you can’t say no. This is…
Well, morning ladies and gentlemen! How have you been holding up? November is in its dying days, I have woken up to a beautiful morning- full of crisp chill and a flooding, wintery sunshine- and it’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas in here! Thanks to a couple of Christmas feature stories I am…
How to grow English Roses in Mumbai! Yes, straight to the point in the very first line (I’ve been told this is SEO 😉 ) and can I tell you that I am ecstatic! Oh, me and English roses and my extreme, biased, never-ending love for them is just too much to handle sometimes,…
Well hi! How have you been? Just popped in to show a coffee table and how it got some whitewash. From behind our jam room’s trash corner to our living room, this table has been a good girl, holding its wood and patina intact, even after all these years: this table belongs to my jam…
Well, hi! How have you been keeping. I’ll give you the gist of this blog post right at the start: I have been blamed for digression and methinks they are so right! So, yeah, picked up some discarded pipes yesterday while looking for Edison bulbs and made an industrial light out of it: this is…
Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali! India is gorgeous at the moment and catching up here, is this little nook with paper lanterns. Made this guy for our coffee table this arvo and I am looking at making quite a few of these for our balcony. It’s so easy I’d just expect you’ll…
Hey there! A good evening to you and how’ve you been in your neck of woods? We have a glow in the dark vase here in Trumatter land and I think you all should totally check this shabby chic vase: It’s a pretty pink in the morning and glows aqua at night! Yes, yes this…
Welcome! How long has it been now? Seriously! I missed catching up with you all so much: It felt like I have not spoken to you all for a zillion years. Meanwhile, I’ve tried to write many times in between but just couldn’t get myself to do it. When your head’s spinning with 1 gazillion…
